**10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE was originally launched in China in July 2023, and following last month's launch of the RTX Super Series GPUs, AMD has decided to surprise everyone with the global launch of the RX 7900 GRE starting this week, and it looks poised to disrupt the mid-range GPU market in a considerable way.
The RX 7900 GRE (Golden Rabbit Edition) starts at $549, which puts it in direct competition with the NVIDIA RTX 4070 on **.
In terms of raw synthesis performance, the RX 7900 GRE follows the familiar AMD-NVIDIA pattern, where Radeon cards are better at pure rasterization and GeForce cards are better ray tracers, but the difference between the RX 7900 GRE and RTX 4070 Super ray tracing performance isn't as extensive as the previous generation.
The RX 7900 GRE is even a more powerful creative card than I expected, but it's a surprisingly powerful GPU for graphic designers, photographers, and editors, and much less than its competitors.
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a modified N**i 31 GPU with four fewer compute units and slower clock speeds than the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT. It also officially has lower power requirements, with a starting TGP of 260W, but this will vary depending on the card you choose.
The Radeon RX 7900 GRE also has 16GB GDDR6 VRAM, while the RX 7900 XT has 20GB, and while the RX 7900 XT has a 320-bit memory bus, the RX 7900 GRE has a slimmer but still quite large 256-bit bus. The RX 7900 GRE has a memory clock rate of 2,250 MHz (compared to 2,500 MHz for the RX 7900 XT), an effective memory speed of 18 Gbps, and a memory bandwidth of 576 Gbs, which is a significant drop from the RX. The 7900 XT is 800 Gbps and 800 Gbs s, respectively.
Also worth noting are the two 8-pin power connectors, which don't require you to bother with the 16-pin connector like NVIDIA's latest graphics cards, either through an adapter or an ATX 30 Power.
The graphics card I tested came with a triple-fan cooler with RGB lighting in the fan. To be sure, it's a very long card, and although it's technically a double-slot card, the shroud fits snugly.
The backplate has some notable features like the Hellhound logo, an exposed GPU stand, and a hole opposite the third fan on the backplate that leaves an open path for air to pass through the heatsink of the GPU cooler for improved heat dissipation.
I don't know if AMD was inspired by the release of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super, which mid-range gamers around the world will love, as this is undoubtedly the best mid-range graphics card on the market right now.
Starting with the synthetic benchmarks, the typical rasterized ray tracing gap between AMD and NVIDIA still exists, but as we've seen on other graphics cards in this generation, the gap is narrowing. The NVIDIA 4070 and RTX 4070 Super definitely lead in raw compute performance, but overall, the RX 7900 GRE is the sub-$600 champion.
When it comes to gaming, the RX 7900 GRE is the clear winner among mid-range graphics cards, with excellent 1080p and 1440p gaming performance, and ray tracing performance is only slightly worse than the RTX 4070 Super. 
The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is the best overall graphics card you can buy for under $600**. Thanks to the RX 7900 GRE's 16GB VRAM and wide memory bus, you can definitely use the card to play efficiently in 4K.
